Piramide Cestia, or The Pyramid of Cestius

…the ancient burial pyramid of Caius Cestius built circa 8-12BC originally located in the open countryside and later integrated into the expanded Roman fortifications of the Aurelian Walls ensuring is preservation through the ages – is what I was biking around today, taking advantage of the warm sun and blue sky, and what a cool, striking, minimal, monolithic sight – but the best part are all of the now-dormant steep-rocky-slope-loving caper plants making themselves at home in the cracks between the slabs of marble.
